So we know how it ends. Let me know when the “Cliff Note” version comes out.
Sounds like it could give vogan poetry a run for it’s money.
“It’s really sad, it was horrible, and these kinds of incidents affect all of us really negatively,” Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds said in an interview yesterday. “This campus is situated in an urban context, and we can’t control these kinds of things.”

FR has seen a lengthy opus now and again, but nothing like this, thankfully.
Sadly, this document is probably on a par with most of the academic writing coming out of Harvard these days.

RIP
I am pretty sure he was Jewish.
.....1905 page note.....
I had a whole book published with only 159 pages.
He could have just read Proust, realized a 2,000 page rambling, boring, disjointed book had already been done and moved on to something more productive. Of course, if he had read Proust, he would have probably been tempted to commit suicide anyway.
It may have been a ROFL.
But I hit report abuse on myself.
